Description

Make-ahead BBQ Chicken Burrito Bowl with corn, black beans, and pico de gallo. Great for lunch or dinner during busy weeks!

Ingredients:

  • Warm the corn and beans:
  • Heat the corn and black beans together or separately in a pan or skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt to your corn and beans and turn off heat.
  • Warm the rice in the microwave or on a pan:
  • If you are using the microwave, pour the rice into a large bowl and cover it with a damp paper towel. Microwave the rice on high for about 1 minute. Check to see if the rice has warmed through. If it is still cold in some spots, give everything a stir and continue microwaving at 15-second intervals, until the rice is heated to your liking.
  • Assemble the burrito bowls:
  • Divide the rice, chicken, corn, beans, romaine lettuce, and pico de gallo into 4 bowls. Top with cheese, if using, and then crush a few tortilla chips on top of each bowl for extra crunch.
  • 1 pound (450g) chicken breasts (or substitute 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken)
  • 4 cups chicken broth or water, for cooking the chicken
  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice (or substitute 3 cups cooked rice)
  • 1 1/4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1 15-ounce (425g) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 6 to 8 romaine lettuce leaves, chopped into strips
  • 1 cup pico de gallo or your favorite salsa
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey jack cheese, optional
  • Crushed tortilla chips, for topping
